Description

Description: PasswordMask does not work on HTC Evo with version 4.0.3, and text is not masked in a textfield either on portrait or landscape mode. Tested on different device with version 4.0.3 - works fine. Not a regression, occurs on 2.1.3 as well. Steps: 1. Run the following code:

var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
    title:'Tab 1',
    backgroundColor:'#fff'
});
win.orientationModes=[
Titanium.UI.PORTRAIT,
     Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT,
     Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT
 ];
var txtfld = Titanium.UI.createTextField({
                color:'#385487',
                right:'3.1%',
                left:'15%',
                borderStyle:Titanium.UI.INPUT_BORDERSTYLE_NONE,
                border:0,
                top:0,
                width:300,
                borderColor: 'transparent',
                backgroundColor: 'transparent',
                font:{fontSize:48,fontFamily:'Helvetica Neue'},
                returnKeyType:Titanium.UI.RETURNKEY_DONE,
                passwordMask:true,
                keyboardType:Titanium.UI.KEYBOARD_NUMBERS_PUNCTUATION,
                hintText:'SSN'
            });
          
win.add(txtfld);
  
win.open();

2. Type some text in textfield Expected result: The text should be masked in textfield Actual result: The text is not masked
